Connecting the world with color

Over the weekend, we saw a tweet demonstrating a CheerLights Christmas Tree. It looks beautiful!

The Christmas tree uses the Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 Wi-Fi board to make the connection to ThingSpeak to get the latest CheerLights color.

Have you ever wanted to tweet at your Christmas tree to change its color? Well now you can! Follow this guide to build a set of Christmas lights which will connect to CheerLights. Anyone can tweet @cheerlights with a color, and all CheerLights-connected devices all over the world will update to that color.
